Proposal: Four Score And Seven Points Ago
Timed out. Passes 5-0—Clucky

Add a new rule named “Points” with the following text:
Each Storyteller has number named Points privately tracked by the Publisher, defaulting to 0 until 13 June 2024 00:00 UTC, after which the default for a Storyteller’s Points is the arithmetic mean of all other Storytellers’ Points rounded down to the nearest integer. At any time, a Storyteller may privately request their current Points value from the Publisher.
If there is a rule named “Judging”, in that rule remove the text “Total Score and the Fragment Scoring atomic action are intentionally undefined.”, then in that rule add a subrule named “Scoring” with the following text:
As a Virtual Action, a Storyteller may privately communicate a Scoring Response to the Publisher for an Open Judging. A Scoring Response must contain a clear description of Score, which is a number between 1 and 10 inclusive, allocated to Fragments according to the numbered list in that Judging post (e.g. “Give 4 Score to #5 and 6 Score to #1”), and where the sum of all of the allocations of Score in that Scoring Response is exactly 10. Additionally, the author of a Scoring Response cannot allocate more Score to a Fragment that they authored than any other Fragment (equal allocations are allowed).
Fragment Scoring is an atomic action with the following steps:
* For each Fragment in the Judging, sum up the Score for that Fragment from the Scoring Responses received for that Judging while it was Open, using only each Storyteller’s most recent valid Scoring Response. This is the Total Score for that Fragment.
* Add the Total Score for each Fragment in that Judging to the Points of the Storyteller who authored that Fragment.
* Privately communicate to each Storyteller their current Points value.
Scoring idea, which is to allocate Score among the Fragments you like the most, essentially ranked-choice voting rather than just “most votes”, with a mechanism to prevent people from just boosting their own Fragments.

Full disclosure: I stole the idea from 4st for privately tracking Points rather than publicly tracking them. I liked the idea a lot as a way to make this more collaborative. That said, I’m not married to it.
